What makes this photo special to you?
The Seattle Pride Festival in 1986 was special because I marched in it. It was the days of the AIDS Plague and Rotten Ronny Reagan’s tyranny. I snapped this picture in Capitol Hill’s Volunteer Park during the festival after the parade. It symbolizes our Gay Tribe’s pride during some very dark times.
